So much has happened in this relatively short amount of time:
We contributed to more than 100 projects (more than 20 different movie/tv show productions), Art directed, produced game trailers, created film pitch materials. We published a book, taught courses at a local art university, created online educational materials and also started several studio projects.
Thanks everyone who contributed to the past 5 years!
The beginning of the Fall term is fast approaching so if you were thinking of enrolling in a course to sharpen your design skills, its time to enroll!
Join our class:
– if you want to gain more insight on the film industry from a concept art perspective
– if you want to challenge yourself to create a range of different designs around a story of your choice
– if you want to get professional feedback on your designs to help push your work forward
During the 10 weeks of the course we’ll be touching on a variety of different design topics (characters, props, environment, storyboards, keyframe) which will make you stretch in areas that might not be your main strength.
In the classes we’ll be talking about the entertainment industry, core design principles and some tools and techniques.
At the end of the course you should have a presentation with a set of cohesive designs that showcase your skills and thinking process.
We’ll also talk about how you could use this material to put together a professional pitch presentation.
Congratulations for 8 Emmy Awards NominationsMrs.America!
It was great to be part of the crew doing some location concepts for this awesome limited series last year.
We are glad to share with you: HOME, a Braw Production collaboration
When HOME started production in October 2019 our world seemed a different place. The film completed in April 2020. Its message is still as important – perhaps even more so.
DON’T LET OUR HOME BECOME A MEMORY
Written and Directed by: Ben Craig Produced by: Debbie Ross CG Supervisor: Sergio Caires CGI Studio: Lua Studios Edit and Camera: Jennifer Mackie Pre Production, Design and Art Direction: Pixoloid Studios Original Music Composition: Giles Lamb Sound Design and Audio Mix: Savalas Man Performance: Ian Hanmore Nurse Voice: Traci Tufte Man Head Scans: Ten24 Facial Performance Capture: DI4D
One of the most exciting news we have for you in the winter is that we’ll have a studio mentorship class on CGMA in the winter term.
The topic we’ll explore is IP development for production.
During the 10 week course, our lead artists will guide you through the process of creating a pitch package, talking about character, environment and prop design, sketching up a storyboard sequence and painting keyframe illustrations. The aim is to put together a cohesive design package based on a chosen story, to showcase that you can carry a visual language across various elements of a project.
There’ll be weekly lecture videos to explain theory and how we apply it to our design process, you’ll get personal, recorded feedback on your homework assignment and you’ll also have the chance to ask us questions live on weekly Q&A sessions.
Every artist can benefit from someone with a well-trained eye looking through their work, or just someone with a fresh perspective…
So we thought that in February, we’ll offer to do quick overpaints for You guys! Head over to ourfacebook page and submit your artwork in the comments!
